April 14 (UPI) -- Saying, "Trump doesn't scare me," Olivia Troye, a former counterterrorism and homeland security adviser in the first administration of President Donald Trump, launched a campaign for Congress as a Virginia Democrat on Tuesday.
"I took [Trump] on when it mattered the most, and I'm ready to do it again," she said in a campaign video posted on YouTube. "It's time to send some real courage to Congress."
The former Republican, who was also a member of the White House's coronavirus task force, resigned before the presidential election in2020. She became a vocal critic of Trump's attitude toward the coronavirus pandemic and appeared in an ad for Republican Voters Against Trump to share those criticisms.
In her launch video, Troye said "the evil I saw in that White House was staggering."
